/CNW/ -
GR Silver Mining Ltd.
("
GR Silver Mining
" or the
"
Company
") (TSXV: GRSL) (OTCQB: GRSLF) (FRANKFURT: GPE) – is pleased to announce that
it has advanced underground development and bulk sampling test mining ("BSTM") at the
San Juan
Area
, Plomosas Project in
Mexico
. The BSTM program is progressing under a commercial
agreement with private local operators (mining and milling operators) in the Rosario Mining
District in Sinaloa. The Company has achieved the following milestones:
To date,
280 m
of underground development have been completed, and 15,170 t of BSTM
material have been processed from the
San Juan Area
, from which 235 t of concentrate have
been produced, as summarized in Table 1.
The processing of BSTM material from the
San Juan Area
has resulted in silver recoveries
ranging from 84% to 92% and gold recoveries ranging from 60% to 75%. The BSTM program
has allowed the processing of lead concentrates containing high-grade silver and gold to be
commercially acceptable by off-takers.
The work on-site supports the definition of a high-grade silver-gold zone not represented in the
current NI 43-101 Mineral Resource estimate, allowing better delineation of key geological
controls hosting significant mineralization for future drilling.
The channel sampling program, as part of the BSTM program (Table 2), has reported high-
grade results, including
2.5 m
@ 1,625 g/t Ag and 14.1 g/t Au. This new zone was recently
discovered, hosted by a vein/hydrothermal breccia within a NE-trending fault zone in the
San
Juan Area
. These structures were not integrated in the current NI 43-101 Mineral Resource
estimate, creating potential for future resource expansion in the
San Juan Area
.
Underground control sampling during the BSTM program and site preparation has revealed new
geological structures hosting silver- and gold-rich hydrothermal breccias not previously
incorporated in the geological model (Figure 1).

Table 2 summarizes channel sample results obtained during recent underground development and
bulk sampling in the
San Juan Area
.
The BSTM activities will focus on the
San Juan
and La Colorada Areas due to the proximity of the
targets to the surface and to third party-owned processing plants. The Company is assessing the
implementation of a similar BSTM program at the Plomosas Mine Area in the near term. Bulk
sampling test mining within these historical mines is expected to continue throughout 2024.
The activities of the BSTM program in the Plomosas Project's historical mines are providing the
Company with a low-cost platform for the definition of new targets for drilling, discovery and,
potentially, resource expansion, adding key information for future project development.
